Hey,
I'm building a workstation and looking for a quiet SFX-L PSU in the 600W range. Based on the reviews on this site, the SX-700-LPT seems to be the most quiet 600W+ PSU (at least till 500W load as stated by the review).
According to the Noise section from the Lian-Li PE 750 review the SX-700-LPT doesn't turn on until 350W. Contrary to this the review over at JonnyGuru states that "You need to run this unit below the fanless threshold (150W) [...]".
With this site's remarks on Fan ratter I'm undecided.
With the BeQuiet! 600W version being out, being based on the same platform, with people in this forum mentioning, that it is most likely quiter due to being the same platform with lower wattage, this seems to be the smarter choice.
However, I have yet to find a review about the noise specifically, that is as good as the review on this site are.
Only Noise pressure levels based on standardized tests, not taking into account the subjective details like rattle.
Does anyone have experience with both the BeQuiet! SFX-L 600W and the SF700-LPT? Could someone recommend one over the other based on noise?
